ACHRF Committee’s Choice Award

The 5th Australasian Compensation Health Research Forum

The 5th Australasian Compensation Health Research Forum (ACHRF) was hosted by the Institute for Safety, Compensation and Recovery Research (ISCRR) and New Zealand’s Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC).

The theme Innovation in a Complex Compensation System looked at both individual and system level complexities to provide discussion, debate and interaction within plenary and sub-stream environments.

This forum followed several successful events which feature presentations from local and international practitioners, decision-makers and researchers, providing attendees the opportunity to connect with like-minded compensation regulators, policy makers, researchers and healthcare providers over two days.
